Is it unrelated? He's assuming Musk's takeover caused the downtime, but you're assuming it didn't. I can think of several reasons it might've (removing a large amount of staff and overworking the remainder being obvious ones). What's the alternative?

Or…the code base is a house of cards built by a poorly managed company. Then when changes are made the legacy code falls apart. This is the more likely scenario. Ultimately Twitter like the rest of the Valley was built on some great developers..and a whole lot of bad ones.
